    i have bubblegum and most of Mark Lanegans other solo stuff...

    Its funny.. i try to buy an album legally and no stores have it. Best Buy, Circuit City and Borders!

    so umm.. guess i have to order it and wait a few more days unless someone has a link they could PM me!

    It hasn't been released in the USA yet, which is why you're not finding it. It's oly available as an import. You can order it as an import through Amazon and probably other major retail websites.

    I can't stop listening to this, since I got it a couple of months ago. Is it me, or is Lanegan pretty much incapable of making a bad album? Everything he lends his voice to turns to gold. Soulsavers, Isobel Campbell, Twilight Singers....

    The man's a genius. Revival is one of the best songs I've heard in recent years, and the entire album is like some kind of soul-purging...

    i guess that makes the chances pretty slim that their tour will find its way over here... :(

    I'm feeling the addiction also, it is nice to see this album getting the love it deserves round these parts at the moment this, Arcade Fire and KOL's new albums are giving me one hell of a headache as to which one is the best of the year, I'm sure QOTSA is about to join that list too.;)

    Just booked my ticket for the weds...

    i dont think lanegan has ever made a bad album now that u mention it. i love all the solo records, they are different enough to not be bored but consistantly gorgeous.

    i enjoyed ballad of the broken seas and the songs he did with qotsa.

    and am a huge twilight singers and dulli fan

    screaming trees are legendary

    when is the gutter twins stuff coming out?

    The consistent answer from the Dulli camp has been "when it's done". As far as I know, they're paying for the studio time themselves, and they don't have a distributor yet, so they're taking all the time they want to fine-tune things, and make sure they put out the best possible record, I guess.

    And just so that everyone can see why Gutter Twins is pretty exciting stuff....

    Awesome, Mark Lanegan is god, I was decorating on saturday, I played The Winding Sheet, BOTBS, Bubblegum and then the Soulsavers records back to back, the variety and style of music and sheer beauty of it all is incredible, he is pure quality really looking forward to the Gutter Twins now after watching those.:)

    It was a great gig, very subdued... they just stuck to soulsavers songs, Mark sang on the main set but not on the encore, where they brought out the guy that did support and did a couple of overly long gospel songs. The support guy really got on my tits. He's a big beardy texan in a cowboy hat, and he plays an out of tune guitar very loudly while wailing over the top of it, and stamping his foot beside a microphone. The crowd seemed to enjoy him, but it was maybe cos it was a quite an old crowd and they were scared of not liking him in case it meant they were over the hill and couldn't handle experimental music any more. Kind of closed eye, "Jazz nods" of a agreement at his art.

    The highlights of the gig, are Mark's voice, any song where mark is joined by the gospel guitar, and the amazing juxtaposition between the chilled beats and Rich Warren's brilliant crunchy guitar playing...

    Are those halos in your hair
    Or diamonds shining there
    Without a hope, without a prayer
    This rain beats down like death
    You turn your eyes to better men
    Before I go I'm hangin' across my nail
    I'll long for you in there

    Girl lay your shame to rest
    Hope lies close to your breast
    You stoop to feed the crows
    To let 'em scratch the truth already cold
    Before I go I'm hangin' across my nail
    I'll long for you in there
    And every kingdom of rain comes pourin' down
    Cause I loved you so much
    Cause I loved you so much

    Would you put halos in your hair
    Without a hope without a prayer
    With lies close to your breast
    You finally lay your shame to rest
    Before I go I'm hangin' across my nail
    I'll long for you in there
    And every kingdom of rain comes fallin' down
    Cause I loved you so long
    cause I loved you so long
    Cause I loved you so long

    Awesome lyrics.:) And yes it is.:)
